YouTube hoses down wild Florida shooting conspiracy theory: this survivor is a ‘crisis actor
South China Morning Post ^

Posted on 02/22/2018 4:42:35 AM PST by MNDude

A top trending video on YouTube suggesting an outspoken survivor of the Parkland school shooting is actually a “crisis actor” has been taken off the video platform.

“This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on harassment and bullying,” a note replacing the clip read Wednesday afternoon.

In the days after suspected gunman Nikolas Cruz opened fire in the halls of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, David Hogg has demanded government officials consider stricter gun laws.

Ahhh. That must explain why the videos showing mr. Hogg doing interviews with students during the shooting were removed. China knows that it is important to censor videos that go against the official narrative.

Oh, so anything that goes against the liberal meme is “bullying” now, and can be removed. I get it, scumbags.

Think about that, this was the number one trending video! Definitely not some Fringe conspiracy anymore.

Nor did the video itself have any “commentary” accompying it. It was just a raw video of this Hogg guy rehearsing for a staged, scripted interview.

When did the Media’s mantra change from “question everything” to “question nothing”?

The whole thing is a political stunt and now they’re using this “false conspiracy theory” nonsense to muffle any real criticism.

Heh. The media mantra has long been "WE ask the questions here." Control the questions, control the narrative.

David Hogg is surely a repulsive little prick. You would think that he was one of the ones who was murdered. He certainly likes to exalt himself and his concerns above the tragedy (”If you don’t agree with me, you are for murder”) as it were.

Who elected or appointed him as spokesman for the American people.

I noticed that even Limbaugh held back on him yesterday.

There is a video out there of Mr. Hogg making multiple takes of his scripted comments. That’s called “acting.”

I think “repulsive little prick” sums it up pretty well. He has not earned any greater recognition, hence no greater insult. The type of lad one is glad has moved from the neighborhood and hopes he stays away. Growing up to become an empty suit. Nothing more.

Does it smell like lavender perfume?

Truth is harassment.

What book does that remind us of?

Probably a more sharp and accurate way to describe Mr. Hogg is that he was already quite media savvy and experienced and that he and others (including the girl shown quite prominently in media coverage of the tragedy) were very likely selected by professional activists (who happened on the scene very quickly) and then coached and fed the scripted talking points. And that there is also Hogg’s father being an FBI agent, recently retired from the local detachment that could have likely stopped Cruz’s actions with better, more effective intervention.
